SPT Charity of the Year

​

As a long-standing member of the local community Shinfield Players Theatre chooses to support local causes through our Charity of the Year. Each year a range of causes are considered by the SPT committee and one is selected to benefit from funds generated by theatre events and a dedicated Christmas show.

​

Our choice of charity this year was in tribute to Philippe Duquenoy - a much loved and respected member of many years who sadly passed away last Spring after a short illness during preparations for the play he was directing; Night Watch. ​​

 

Sue Ryder - SPT Charity of the Year 2024-5

​

 

 

Sue Ryder is a national charity providing palliative, bereavement and neurological support. They support people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that's a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one or a neurological condition - they're there when it matters.

​

Dying and grief are universal experiences, but too many people face them alone. Sue Ryder are a safe and reassuring hand you can reach for. From providing care and support for someone at the end of their life to helping someone manage their grief, they know there is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need.

They campaign for everyone who is approaching the end of their life or grieving to have access to the right support, at the right time. And they seek to break down the barriers to talking about dying and grief - so we can all be better prepared and better equipped to be there for each other.

​

Sue Ryder can make a positive difference during even the darkest of times. Whether in the last months, weeks or days of life, or living with grief, we help people live the best life they possibly can. We are there when it matters.
